WEETABIX ?

I have to say this one took me by surprise.  When I purchased a box of reduced Weetabix the last person I pegged as eating them was C Monster.  Here he is enjoying Weetabix with vanilla yogurt and a little honey.  He also likes them with just a little milk.

I wanted to also take a minute to talk about cereal in general.  I am very particular about what cereal we buy in our house.  Our food is no longer 100% organic that is a decision we had to make when we decided to purchase a bigger house.  Bigger house = bigger mortgage = cutting cost in various locations.  However we do not buy food that is full of additives and chemicals.  So what do I look for in a cereal?

1. Sugar content must be 6g or bellow; ideally between 0g and 4g
2. It can not contain any preservatives or ingredients that one would not find in a well stocked kitchen pantry
3. It is on sale. As cereal is a treat in our house we only buy it when it is on sale. 

If have to say once you follow all these rules there is not much left out there one can buy; so I was delighted when C Monster decided that he LOVED Weetabix.

Do you know what is in your Cosmetics?

I found this interesting website called "Environmental Working Group Skin deep Cosmetic Safety Databse". It's an on-line database that lets you search products or ingredients and rates them from 0 to 10 for safety.

I spent a good 2 hours today going threw all the cosmetics and beauty products in our washroom to see how they rated.

This is an image of all the products that we decided were not safe enough for us to continue to use.



These are images of the products that were safe.






This is an image of the products that were not listed in the database and had no ingredients listed on the containers. How knows whats in them?



Take a moment to look up whats in your bathroom and you will be shocked.
